Toronto Blue Jays - Fantasy News
9/29/18
Though he was removed for pinch hitter Billy McKinney in the ninth, Hernandez already helped anyone who put him in their fantasy lineups with a laser off a Diego Castillo offering that left little question of clearing the left-field fence. His second big fly in as many days boosts him to a .241/.303/.471 line on the season in 519 plate appearances, in which he's lifted 22 homers. This mini-run again teases the sleeper appeal many fantasy drafters chased in deeper mixed games before this season. Depending on Toronto's offseason maneuverings, the soon-to-be 26-year-old may still deserve a similar spotlight in 2019 due to his tantalizing batted-ball metrics: Before this game, Hernandez ranked 10th with a 9.1 percent rate of barrels per plate appearance, according to Statcast.
